Purpur
“(…) Rot und Blau sind die Fortsetzung der antinken Machtfarve “Purpur”.” -
I’ve asked my Grossvater, why was the purple the Collor of the ones with the “Power of Will”. He answered with his that’s-obvious-I-enjoy-to-teach-face. Purpur was a color obtained from a sea snail, and it was very, very expensive. Like only-kings -could-afford-that expensive. We read in a encyclopedia that 10.000 of those sea-snails (208 kg) were required to produce 1,2 g of the purpur dye powder.
I thought that it was obtained from the shell, but is actually from the secretions removed from the living animal. It’s quite cruel (2:20)
